What's up everyone!!  Thanks again for reading my blog.  Man, how is it already fall??!!  I mean here in Southern California we don't really experience "fall" the way that the rest of the world does, but it's crazy to think that it is getting to be the end of September!  Time really does fly.  (WOW this was a long introduction to this post haha.)  Anyways, tonight's post is directed primarily towards all of my friends who are actors, musicians, performers.  And, well, I suppose really anyone who is facing a difficult situation at the moment.  (That is probably a lot of people given that it's tough out there these days!)  Well I have a suggestion for you:  set one specific goal.  Yep, set one.  I realize that there are MANY things that we all would like to accomplish in life.  Maybe you're reading this and want to change careers, move to a different city, or find a girlfriend or boyfriend.  Maybe, like me, you've got a huge list of goals that you want to achieve!  (I think that it's awesome by the way to have a list of all that you're aiming to accomplish.)  It is also super important to take confidence in knowing that you WILL accomplish all of your goals.  However I challenge you to set them one at a time and work on each goal individually.  

In my opinion, when you one goal it becomes much easier to achieve that one goal namely because all of your energy is going into completing the one task at hand.  As an artist, I believe that we struggle with this concept because we want to do everything creatively and are not always great at the "business" side of things.  I am completely guilty of that haha.   (That's why some people truly are GREAT at working in very intense businesses as opposed to working in the arts.)  Everyone's different, and we can all learn from each other.  

If you're a like me and great time with your creativity but tend to have a bit of a hard time "business-wise", set one goal that you want to accomplish and write it down.  You will achieve it rather quickly, whether you believe me or not!  Actors: let's say that your one goal is to book a national commercial.  This now becomes the task that must be accomplished before anything else in your life!  You then must tackle the task at hand!  This includes researching every single commercial casting director, meeting them, finding a great commercial agent to help you, etc.  It will be tough, but can do it.  Start today and set your one goal, accomplish it, and move down your list!  You will also tend to find that once you achieve that one goal, the others on your list become more and more attainable!    

ANYONE can do ANYTHING that he or she puts their mind and spirit into.  So, what's your goal?  ;)
